                      • About The Company

                        Our client is a boutique, insight and strategy consultancy that has spent the last 10+ years helping the world’s most iconic brands achieve their growth ambitions. They are known for their rigorous, data-driven approach and a sharp focus on customer strategies that deliver results. As they look to expand, they’re seeking a talented qualitative strategy leader to help shape the next phase of their journey. 🚀

                      • The Day-to-Day

                        You will be at the heart of the consultancy, responsible for:

                        • Building and maintaining relationships with C-suite clients, understanding their commercial needs and designing bespoke solutions.
                        • Leading and managing complex, multi-faceted projects from end to end, from research through to strategy delivery.
                        • Leading the qualitative aspects of strategic projects—developing methodologies, moderating, and analysing findings.
                        • Advising clients on the full spectrum of strategic challenges, from brand strategy to market entry and innovation.
                        • Playing a key leadership role within the company, working alongside other directors to grow the business and shape its future direction.
                      • The Ideal Candidate

                        You’re not just a researcher—you’re a strategist. With significant experience in qualitative methods, you understand that research is a tool to create commercial strategies, not the final goal. You’re comfortable handling both fresh and existing data, with a proven track record of delivering strategic insights that drive growth. 🎯

                        Key requirements:

                        • Extensive experience in strategy consulting or high-end market research in a client-facing role.
                        • Strong expertise in qualitative methods with a history of pitching and delivering strategic projects.
                        • Proven experience advising blue-chip clients across a range of strategic challenges.
                        • Excellent project management skills and experience leading large, complex studies.
                        • A confident storyteller, workshop facilitator, and trusted advisor.
                      • Why Join?

                        Every day, your ideas will drive change for top-tier brands. As a Director, you won’t just deliver research—you’ll craft strategies that spark growth. You’ll be hands-on, working directly with C-suite executives, shaping not only their strategy but also the future of our client’s growing business. If you’re driven by creating real-world impact, this role is for you. 💡
